Background
An end effector of a robot arm is a tool for the robot arm to perform a task, and is sometimes referred to as a hand, a gripper, a manipulator, or the like. The main function of a robotic arm is to grasp and manipulate an item with an end device. The tail end executing device is arranged on a mechanical interface of the manipulator and is used for finishing the operation of a specified task.
With the development of robotics, the design of a robot end device becomes a hot spot for the next research. It is desirable that the mechanical arm can accomplish a variety of tasks to achieve the goals of reducing cost and improving efficiency. This puts higher demands on the design and development of the end devices of the robot arms.
In the research on the end device of the mechanical arm, how to enable the end execution device with the function of the clamping jaw object to complete the task of pressing the key is a complicated problem. Due to the existence of the clamping jaw joint, the clamping jaw is easy to bend, and the pressing of the key cannot be realized. Therefore, it is a need to provide a robot arm end device capable of simultaneously gripping an object and pressing a button.

Principle of operation
According to the invention, the camera acquires the image in front of the clamping jaw, and a user can judge and position the specific position of the target object through image information and control the mechanical arm tail end execution device to align the target object. Selecting and executing actions according to task targets:
1. the task target is to clamp an object: the electric push rod is controlled to retract, the length of the electric push rod is smaller than that of the clamping jaw, and the electric push rod cannot influence the action of the clamping jaw. The invention controls the clamping jaws to fold or unfold to complete the operation of grabbing a target object;
2. the task target is to press a key: the clamping jaw opens, and the clamping jaw directional base direction retracts, and simultaneously electric putter stretches out, makes push rod length be greater than clamping jaw length, and the clamping jaw can not cause the influence to the action of push rod. The user uses the electric push rod to complete the operation of pressing the button.
In the process, the force sensor arranged at the base of the clamping jaw detects the external force and the moment applied to the clamping jaw.
The control mode of the invention is as follows:
the first control mode of the invention can complete the function of clamping objects, and the method comprises the following steps:
firstly, a camera collects an image in front of a clamping jaw and positions the position of a target object;
secondly, controlling the tail end execution device of the mechanical arm to align to the object;
step three, retracting a push rod of the mechanical arm;
and step four, clamping the object by using the clamping jaw.
The second control mode of the present invention:
in a second embodiment of the present invention, a key pressing task can be completed, the method includes the following steps:
firstly, a camera collects an image in front of a clamping jaw and positions the position of a target object;
step two, opening the clamping jaw, and extending a push rod of the mechanical arm;
